3 DRAGON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 DRAGON CLOSE sales from September 2004 and August 2016 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 2004 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 3 DRAGON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38.6%, between August 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the West Lancashire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 38.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 DRAGON CLOSE of £111,000 on 16th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £111,000 to £153,830 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
